Having a bunch of roommates crammed into one space is the only way. Source: me.

I hate this so much. My most traumatic events have come from roommates. It's not enough that my income is low, it keeps me in emotional danger by having to live with people.

Yep. People constantly stealing your shit, invading your space, getting you sick, keeping you up at night, and picking fights for no reason will make you mentally ill. The problems of being poor just compound on eachother.

When volunteering on the phones at my local foodbank, we had tons of clients where the person who owned the house had to take in roommates to pay their mortgage, taxes and insurance to afford to keep their home once they’d retired So damn sad.
